Akiva should not be a air Bnb host. He was polite when I first arrived but because the Google map I was using was off and directed me to the wrong place and because of initial confusion ( he first confirmed the reservation, then while I was on the road, he canceled it because he wasn't getting enough money) it started off poorly, and he treated me like I was a confused idiot. The alleged large beautiful too wasn't either. The windows were filthy, the blinds didn't close properly, the bed was a futon mattress on a frame and was hard. The furniture in the room consisted of a lamp, a weird sort of sculpture that I guess was supposed to be a nightstand where I could balance my phone and a kitchen chair. There was a closet. The bright living room had an uncomfortable leather couch and a very small kitchen table with 4 chairs around it, and a couple of small stools with books stacked on them. The "art" was pretty strange and because of his "Eastern Spirituality" which I was really interested in and would have liked to discuss with him, most of the art, he painted and was a rather disturbing picture of a satanic looking creature. It was very large and there were quite a few depictions, not at all peaceful or uplifting or anything positive. There was one very small piece of art in the bedroom. He had a continuous stream of chanting coming from his iPodat all times, even in his absence.The kitchen was small but adequate but had a dish drainer stacked high with clean dishes. He showed me a cupboard shelf I could use and space in the refrigerator. The yard was private, weedy, half heartedly mowed and the yard furniture consisted of a hammock and 2 castoff kitchen chairs. It was covered with thistles so walking barefoot was a hazard, it was weedy and overgrown around the edges and fairly ugly with 2 small areas of vegetables which he asked me to water in his absence. Understandably, because of the drought, it was brown and dusty and dead. Akiva announced he was leaving for New York for 4 days and that was fine. I asked about coffee and he muttered something about beans needing to be ground which wasn't a problem and showed me a nearly empty bag of coffee beans. I found the grinder but couldn't find filters. It was probably good he was gone most of the time. He returned around 8pm Wednesday and I had purposely taken a walk so he could have some space. Unfortunately he and I arrived at the same time, I pleasantly said, "your back, welcome home, and he muttered something and busied himself watering plants, which looked good as I had watered them, and I said they survived! And to which he didn't bother to thank me. I made myself a salad, carefully putting garbage away, cleared the counter except for the...
